Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

The burning houses seemed to be telling the story of the intensity of the bombing.

As the shelling ended, at a command from Fumio Nagata, a squadron of the First Battalion entered the village and began searching the remaining houses one by one.

When they began searching, the entire squadron of Japanese soldiers did not find any human figures.

Then continue searching deeper into the village.

When the Japanese troops advanced deep into the village and began to disperse and search, the Second Battalion in the tunnels at the bottom of the village began to quietly come out of the tunnels in various places and began to prepare to ambush the searching Japanese troops.

On a small path in the village, three Japanese soldiers pushed open a gate that was bombed to the point of being half-broken and entered the yard of a private house.

After searching the entire yard, the three men did not find any human figures, so they began to slowly approach the house with the door wide open.

However, a stone bench in a corner of the wall behind the three people suddenly sank, revealing a human head, quietly staring at the three people from behind without making any movement.

After one of the Japanese soldiers entered the house, he found that there was no one in the main room, so he went to the side room.

As soon as he opened the door and entered the side room, suddenly, a figure flashed behind him, covered the Japanese soldier's mouth, stabbed the Japanese soldier's heart from behind with a bayonet, and then slowly put him on the ground.

The Japanese soldiers outside the door found that there was no movement after the people went in, so they looked forward. Suddenly, a figure behind them, holding a crossbow, aimed at the Japanese soldier's head, and shot an arrow, which instantly pierced the Japanese soldier's head.

Then the Japanese soldier fell to the ground silently.

The Japanese soldier outside the main door was about to check the situation inside, when suddenly a man in the corner of the yard raised his hand, took out a crossbow and shot at the back of the Japanese soldier's head.

After they eliminated the three Japanese soldiers, they immediately began to collect the equipment they carried, then dragged the bodies to a hidden location and went into the tunnel.

This scene gradually began to occur in various houses or on the roads in the village. As time passed, the village, which had sporadic gunshots at the beginning, began to become quiet again.

Fumio Nagata, who was waiting at the village entrance, smiled as he heard the sporadic gunshots.

"Mr. Matsushita, did you see that? The little Eighth Route Army, under the artillery fire of the locust army, any Eighth Route Army will be wiped out by the great Japanese locust army."

Chief of Staff Nosuke Matsushita, who was standing by, quickly agreed.

Fumio Nagata really enjoys being complimented by his subordinates.

Then he continued.

"Although these tunnels in China force the Locust Army to expend great effort in a battle of wits and courage with them."

"But on the other hand, the locust army's powerful strength also forced these Chinese troops to hide underground like rats in the gutter."

After saying this, Nagata Fumio began to show off proudly again.

Nosuke Matsushita looked at Fumio Nagata with a relaxed expression and flattered him on the surface, but he did not agree with him at all in his heart.

If it were so easy to destroy them, would the commander have to mobilize so many divisions to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army this time?

In addition, a large number of troops were deployed around southeastern Shanxi to guard against the hateful 389th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Before Matsushita Nosuke could continue to complain secretly, the entire village stopped being filled with gunfire.

But the two waited for a long time and no locust army came out, and they suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Sir, Captain, should we send another troop in to take a look?"

Hearing the chief of staff's words, Nagata Fumio suddenly felt something was wrong, so he nodded in agreement and let another squadron enter the village.

Afterwards, Matsushita Nosuke sent another squadron into the village.

However, the result was the same as before, sporadic gunshots were heard at first, and then there was no movement.

So the two men immediately realized that there were a large number of Eighth Route Army troops in the village, and relied on the tunnels in the village to start a sneak attack on the locust army entering the village.
